Therapeutic Massage, Conscious Touch Communication, and Nurturing Touch for Pre/Postnatal Women, Families & Children
Did you know massage is the oldest form of medicine?
Michelle Maniaci teaches parents, families, caregivers, teachers, pediatric health care professionals, and children (all ages & abilities welcome) the art of massage and touch communication. Massage is a great way to have fun, relax, bond & play while enhancing attention, focus, listening & communication skills. Massage facilitates increase levels of important neurohormones that have been found to be decreased in children with ADHD and attention difficulties, depression, & anxiety. Therefore, children can greatly benefit from massage as a natural form of enhancing the secretion of these neurohormones to promote a more calm, focused, & alert behavioral state (required for learning new skills, during school, & for homework activities).
